Resign during maternity leave

[andytantravels]

I don’t see any issue with it - unless you really quite at the END of your leave ... not really fair on the company who have supported you.

Totally agree .... doing this can only be bad karma

This is one of the most frowned upon practice

It puts you right into the basket of lowlifes who will never succeed in life

Harsh words and judgmental I know, but it is the truth

Anyway ML is government paid leave, your company can claim back your salary from government.

why judged so quickly when you don't even know TS's actual reasons of resigning??

i had horrible bosses when i was pregnant with my first kid. They tried all ways to get rid of me bcos of my pregnancy, asking me to carry super heavy stuffs when i was alr likr 5 months plus preggy and the list just go on and on and on.
Some employers or bosses can be nasty to preg employees (sad but true also!)

In such cases, do you still think we are "basket of lowlifes who will never succeed in life" as quoted by JakePeralta?

I don't really see the issue, to be frank.
If I have a staff member on maternity leave, and she either (i) resigns during her ML, or (ii) comes back to work and immediately give me resignation letter.

Frankly I rather have her do the former rather than the latter. Cos the latter I have to pay her extra 1 mth salary and she won't be anywhere near 100% or even 50% productivity, might as well just not come back at all.

this is the reason why many employers shun from hiring newly-wed women knowing that they will get pregnant shortly, take ML and sayonara~

Na that is the stupidest thing to do

It’s a bit sad to do this ...

I never even considered this actually! But I wonder if it’s something HR would speak about openly in meetings when choosing candidates
